Yu should look for an electric radio controlled helicopter, which reduces the risk of crashing down the newly purchased helicopter to ground. If you are, taking it up as a hobby then it is ideal for you, it does not make any noise, and your neighbors will ever complain about it.
The next step would be identifying the size of the helicopter you want. You can settle down with different types that are available like gas helicopter, electric helicopter, mini helicopter, micro helicopter and toy helicopter. If you plan to fly your helicopter at open place, you can choose the electric helicopter or if you want to fly indoors then micro and mini helicopters are ideal.
The most important part is the ability to control the flying of the helicopter. As a newbie flier, you will make crashes so make sure that you buy parts while purchasing a model.
